Pokemon Sun and Moon, Solgaleo

“It is said to live in another world. The intense light it radiates from the surface of its body can make the darkest of nights light up like midday.”

Solgaleo is the Pokemon you’re gonna grab if you’ve picked up Pokemon Sun. This majestic-looking Lion is a Psychic and Steel-type Pokemon, meaning it is vulnerable to a few different types such as Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark. When it comes to base stats, Solgaleo’s total clocks in at 680. The breakdown of these stats is below, and it’s these which determine one of the main differences between itself and Lunala.

  • HP – 137
  • Attack – 137
  • Defense – 107
  • Sp. Attack – 113
  • Sp. Defense – 89
  • Speed – 97

It’s worth noting here that Solgaleo excels in both the standard Attack and Defense stats more so than its Sp. Attack and Sp. Defense. As you’d expect, many of the moves that Solgaleo will learn naturally take this into consideration and so you’ll get far more physical attacks that rely on this Attack stat than Sp. Attack.

If you’re looking for a strong Psychic and/ or Steel-type, then Solgaleo may be the right legendary for you. Just be sure that any TMs you might want to teach it will play to its enhanced Attack stat rather than Sp. Attack.
